MatD - Gambling, Girls and Guns

Old blackjack was my only friend back home in Junction Town
Three card stud it's in my blood come lay your money down
My father was the rambling kind
My mother she died young
So he taught me all I need to know about gambling girls and guns Lord
About gambling girls and guns

In a darkened room twelve hours from noon she showed the world to me
I had to pay that lass two bits of lead the night I set her free
I drift from place to place since then
I live life on the run
I make my way from day to day off gambling girls and guns Lord
Off gambling girls and guns

The damned near took me down last spring outside of Monterrey
I fought them all until they fell but I barely got away
The law came busting in that night
It was a dozen men to one
But I killed those bastards in the name of gambling girls and guns Lord
Of gambling girls and guns

They left me weak
My luck's run short
There is nothing left to do but pay some girl to lay with me before this night is through
One just the kind I used to find when I was wild and young
I'll teach young mademoiselle a thing or two about gambling girls and guns Lord
About gambling girls and guns

In a darkened room twelve hours from noon just like it was before
The world spun black before my old listless body hit the floor
She slit my throat
She watched me die
Now my rambling days are done
But now I fear I'm bound by sin by the gambling girls and girls Lord
By the gambling girls and guns

My father was the rambling kind
Yeah my Mother she died young
Oh and by god's grace I'd see her face but ol' daddy done me wrong
The devil has made a place for me
It's hotter than the sun
It's just as well I'll burn in hell for the gambling girls and guns Lord
For the gambling girls and guns
